Chapter XII Prosecution of Pirates
After yesterday's incident, the country of Tarens, which already attaches great importance to copyright and patents, launched a large-scale crackdown on piracy. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
All the vendors who sold pirated black-boxes were arrested, especially the supplier behind it, Brud Smir.
"What I'm selling is obviously genuine, how can it be piracy? You've got the wrong person. ”
Many shopkeepers who sell pirated copies argue loudly
"It's not just the black-box product, but all other products in your store are suspected of piracy."
The shopkeeper immediately became dumbfounded
Although the 'pirated' game console is exactly the same as the original one, the other pirated goods in the store are far from the same, and some of them can be seen at a glance that there is a problem with the product.
"I'm not selling pirated copies, I'm just selling small brands that look like big brands."
The shopkeeper's tone was not so excited, and there was a hint of luck in his heart.
That's right, because of strict regulations and rewards for whistleblowing, pirates sell goods that are one word different from big brands, and they also have company names and trademarks registered with the government.
In the past, no one cared about this kind of edge ball, after all, there was a word difference and the price was very cheap, and it didn't deceive people because it looked alike.
People who buy these goods also know that it is piracy, and the company that pirates it has not reacted much.
So the judiciary won't deal with these 'legitimate' small businesses.
And this kind of pirate crackdown will pop up one by one, as long as it does not harm the interests of the company, those big companies will not care.
But yesterday's things were different, not to mention that the goods are exactly the same as the genuine ones, but they cannot be used at all, which greatly damages the interests of the people.
If these pirated goods can be used, they will only be sued, and then they will be compensated after a lengthy lawsuit.
But now it's different, many people who can't afford it or don't want to pay for it buy a 'pirated version', and they don't even have basic features, which is a complete scam.
"It's all strange that the price of Phantom Entertainment is too high, we can only buy pirated copies, but it can't be used!"
Some of the victims interviewed by the media even said so
However, Zhou Yi didn't bother to pay attention to such people, and they wouldn't be customers of the company anyway.
Now Zhou Yi is thinking about whether to come to a special global member meeting event on the weekend, so that he can meet these fans who support him.
"If you feel good, let's do something and relax by the way."
court
"I'm buying genuine products from Phantom Entertainment, and they're hurting consumers."
In the court, Bruder Smir was named as the defendant to state his story.
"Did the plaintiff ever sell Brud Smir a consignment of goods?"
The judge asked
"We were going to sell a shipment to Bruder Smir, but the deal didn't work out because of a default."
"How is it possible, I picked up the goods from your company, why didn't I buy them?"
Bruder Smir's lawyer pulled him and motioned for him not to speak.
"Quiet, it's plaintiff time, be quiet if you don't want to be kicked out of the courthouse."
"So does the breached contract still exist?"
"Because the other party breached the contract and did not pick up the goods on time, we thought it was an insult to our company's products, so the contract was destroyed."
"What else does the plaintiff have to say?"
"Nope."
"Defendant, do you still have that contract?"
"I, I don't have it anymore."
Because Bruder Smir was going to sell the original copy as a pirate, his contract was ruined with a shredder after paying liquidated damages.
Brud Smir didn't know what to do, and now he didn't have a contract to explain that the goods in his hand were provided by Phantom Entertainment, and he couldn't contact the people behind the money and plans.
"What should I do?
Is it better to confess, anyway, it's not clear how to say it now, being convicted of piracy, and it is still unscrupulous, and the pirate who owns 20 million units of goods will definitely be sentenced heavily.
If you confess, you will become an accomplice, and you will also have the credit of reporting, which will reduce the prison sentence a lot."
Just as Bruder Smir was thinking, his lawyer spoke.
"Bank transfer can find out whether this transaction is just a breach of contract or something else, judge, can I check the bank transfer records of Bruder Smir in recent days?"
The judge nodded
"The request is reasonable."
The lawyer immediately used Bruder Smir's mobile phone to make a phone call to check the transfer history.
Lawyer Tran on the plaintiff's side raised his hand
"Is there anything to add?"
"I think I should go back to Bruder Smir's account transfer history within two months.
According to our research, Bruder used to be an unemployed person, earning less than 1,000 taren a month by doing odd jobs.
We suspect that Bruder's sudden possession of a large fortune may well be unjustifiable, and that there are people behind him who want to use his hand to bring down Phantom Entertainment.
The people behind the scenes lured Zhou Yiren, the former general manager of the company, to sign a contract with high liquidated damages through Brude, and used the company's ignorance to make Phantom Entertainment default on the contract, which made the company feel debted and bankrupt.
Zhou Yiren can fully testify to this matter, he was bought and signed by Mr. Brude's promise of 10 million Tarun after the completion of the matter. ”
Yesterday, the company mediated with Zhou Yiren in court, proposing that it would no longer pursue its legal responsibility, but that it must testify for the company when needed.
In order to avoid imprisonment, Zhou Yiren directly agreed to this condition.
"It is proposed to allow access to Bruder Smir's transfer records for the past two months."
At this time, the lawyer who was manually inquiring by phone said with some joy:
"In the past two days, there was a transfer record of 14 million star coins, and the next day, the fixed assets of 30 million star coins pledged by the bank to pay liquidated damages were also paid.
This indicates that the default was made after the deal was concluded. ”
"No, our company didn't receive 14 million Star Coins, you should check the collection account.
Are you a rookie?
Or do you want to distort the facts?
What I don't understand is why Mr. Brude, who paid 30 million star coins in fixed assets, would hire you as a rookie lawyer. ”
The lawyer hired by Bruder Smir was a little frightened by Tran's words.
"Well, 14 million star coins is a hidden account, and the liquidated damages are Phantom Entertainment."
"I believe that Mr. Bruder will not transfer money to an anonymous account when trading."
"No, no, it can't be!
I knocked down this money in the account of Phantom Entertainment, how is it possible? ”
Of course, this is the means of Zhou Yi's father Zhou Tianyi and those rich people, and the rich forces hiding behind the scenes are the enemies of all rich people.
Because they may have crushed your company without you noticing, and of course the people that Zhou Tianyi said were probably plotting something.
"A month ago, 100,000 Stars were credited to the account, 7 days ago 14 million Stars were credited to the account, and 30 million Stars were transferred to Bruder Smir.
And the transfers are anonymous accounts. ”
"This clearly shows that Phantom Entertainment Company has been subjected to vicious commercial competition and has used unfair means to seize the ownership of Phantom Entertainment Company."
"This, this."
The lawyer hired by Brud Smir trembled
"The evidence is clear, what else does Bruder Smir have to say?"
"They played with me, they cheated on me!
I, I said it all, I hope the sentence can be commuted. ”
Because of his good attitude, Brud Smir was sentenced to five years in prison.
It's not that Tran doesn't want Bruder Smir to be sentenced for a few more years, but it's a vicious competition in business, and the country of Tarens will be sentenced to a maximum of ten years, but he won't want to start a company and engage in related careers in the future.
The person behind the scenes did not surface, and every time he contacted Brude Smir, he used a voice changer, and his mobile phone was also processed, and the number could not be found in the communication records at all.
However, Zhou Yi knows that although this matter has been dealt with, the people behind the scenes will definitely appear in the future, as long as Zhou Yi continues to develop electronic products that are sold to the world and owned by every family.
"I'll be ready next time, don't let the people behind it run away again."
